A Key for Hannah

Set in
1815, Hannah Shelston finds herself rather distressingly with a cut to her
forehead, a few sovereigns in her purse, a key in her hand and no real idea of
what happened to make her flee from her ancestral home! The key fits the door
of a dilapidated manor house on the outskirts of the village of Thatchfield and
it is here that Hannah begins to make a home with her cousin Fanny and later
Jane, a little girl left in their care. The friendship of the local Squire and
some of the villagers is necessary to their survival, but then Hannah’s past
comes back to haunt them! The key to everything is a maid called Dorcas, but
no-one knows where she is…

Stretching
from Wales to the Black Country in the heart of the industrial Midlands, this
is a tale of adventure and romance that will keep you guessing right to the
end!
